Chapter 1687 Who Are They
"Then, beautifuldies, please follow me. I will take you there right now," Rocky said tteringly, still
pretending to be bewitched by Gloria''s beauty.
"Thank you. What a sweet guy you are," Gloria praised. She seemed to be rather satisfied with the
attitude that Rocky was showing.
"Of course, it is my honor to be of use to you," Rocky quickly replied.
On the other hand, Purple could just shake her head as she felt a little disgusted. However, Gloria just
giggled and seemed to enjoy that people were fawning over her.
After that, Rocky took Gloria and Purple to the square where the engagement ceremony was about to
be held.
At this moment, there was only an hour left before the appointed time of the ceremony. Hence, Gilbert
and the elders of the Ghost Fief had already taken their seats on the high tform. At the same time,
the invited guests and other ministers of the Ghost Fief also joined on the tform. Around the square,
the members of Gilbert''s mansion were also scattered, making the ce very crowded with people.
Soon enough, Valeria appeared on the square, together with Elder Leticia and the maids. She slowly
walked down the red carpet with her face covered with a veil. Although people could not really see her
entire face, she instantly became the center of attention.
After a moment, Valeria and Elder Leticia reached the high tform and bowed to Gilbert and the
elders of the Ghost Fief.
"I am d that you''re already here. Our Godly Genius will be here soon, so please take a seat for now.
As soon as he arrives, we shall proceed with the ceremony," Gilbert remarked with a smile.
As he guided them into their seats, Gilbert sat beside the twodies.
After quite a while, Gilbert had begun to feel impatient. The joss stick in the copper censer had almost
burnt out, but Rocky hadn''t shown up yet. Thus, he finally ordered his men to go to the Ghost Pce to
check what was holding Rocky up.
But not long after, one of his men came back and informed that Rocky was no longer in the Ghost
Pce, and it seemed that he had left the pce for a while now.
Since the guests were already there, Gilbert deemed that it would be suspicious if he sent too many
people to search for Rocky. Hence, he could only wait patiently until Rocky showed up.
However, the appointed time was almost up, and Rocky was still nowhere to be seen. At this point, the
people already began to discuss among themselves.
"Where is that guy? Valeria is already here!"
"Shouldn''t he be here before thedy? This is absurd. Is he nning to show up right at thest
moment?"
"Or maybe he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to back out from the engagement? He might
have thought that he was not a match for her. If that is the case, then we still have the chance to win
Valeria''s heart!"
Right now, all kinds of spections were spreading around due to Rocky''s absence.
At the same time, Elder Leticia also started to feel uneasy. She was worried that Rocky would suddenly
go back on his word. If that happened, the Flower Fief would surely suffer such a disgrace.
However, it seemed that Valeria had a different impression. In fact, she was actually hoping that Rocky
would not show up at all. That way, she could also be free from this engagement.
As the uproar was starting to get out of hand, a figure suddenly appeared on the red carpet at the end
of the square. Every eye turned in the direction of the figure and recognized that it was none other
Rocky.
However, they did not expect that on such a happy and special asion, Rocky was still dressed
slovenly. Of course, this left an impression that he was being disrespectful to the Godly Genius of the
Flower Fief.
But soon after, everyone''s attention shifted to the figures who appeared behind Rocky. Two unknown
coquettish beauties were apanying him, making the people suspicious of their identities.
Of course, almost no one in attendance knew the identities of the twodies except for the
representative of the Genie Fief, Elder Bryson. As soon as he saw them, Elder Bryson was stunned.

He never expected that the Godly Genius of their fief would suddenly appear at such an asion
without even warning him. Moreover, she appeared in public together with the Godly Genius of the
Ghost Fief. He could not help but worry that it would cause some unwarranted suspicions.
Deeming that no one knew their identities aside from him, Elder Bryson just kept silent. He decided to
just observe and wait for what would happen next.
Meanwhile, Gloria and Purple, who were still in the dark about Rocky''s true identity and his n,
followed him into the square. However, they began to notice that something was wrong. They just
intended to sneak into the ce, but they were confused as to why everyone''s eyes were focused on
them.
"Hey, what is happening? Did you take us to the wrong ce?" Gloria asked as her suspicion rose.
"No. This is where the ceremony will be held. Didn''t you say that you wanted to see it? I just led you to
a shortcut," Rocky replied with an innocent face.
"Shortcut? Are you kidding me?" At this point, Gloria already realized that they were actually fooled.
"Well, you are already here. If you try to leave now, I''m afraid that the people will get more suspicious
of you," Rocky warned her in an ironically kind tone. But the truth was he had actually set up this trap
for her. With this, she would not be able to escape even if she wanted to.
Upon hearing this, Gloria and Purple confirmed that they were really deceived by this man. At the same
time, everyone was staring intently at them, including Gilbert, the leader of the Ghost Fief.
Left with no choice, Gloria and Purple followed Rocky into the tform.
"Sirs, I am here. I''m sorry for beingte," Rocky respectfully said as he bowed and cupped his hands
towards Gilbert and the other elders.
"Who are they?" Gilbert asked Rocky straightforwardly. He had never seen Gloria and Purple before,
so he did not know their identities. But seeing that they came with Rocky, he could just assume that
they had a special rtionship with him.
"Sir, these are my sisters. They are here to attend the engagement ceremony. I had to fetch them and
that''s why I''m a bitte," Rocky answered with a fake smile as he invented the background of the two
gorgeous women.
"What? Sisters?" Gilbert raised his eyebrows in surprise.
In fact, everyone who heard it was also stunned. They never expected that Rocky, who only had an
average appearance, would have such stunningly beautiful sisters.
"Since they are your family, of course, they can join the ceremony." Although Gilbert was a little
confused with the sudden development, he still treated the women courteously.
At the same time, even Gloria and Purple were dumbfounded. They could not fathom what was going
on in Rocky''s head that he would introduce them as his sisters. Moreover, they wondered why the
leader of the Ghost Fief was talking so politely towards Rocky. At this point, there were a lot of
questions that baffled them.
"All right. Have a seat then, dear sisters!" Rocky turned towards the two and let out a huge smile.
''Who exactly is this guy?'' Gloria wondered in silence, realizing that something wrong was definitely
going on.
However, in order not to cause any unnecessary trouble, she yed along and restrained her
emotions. Eventually, she pulled Purple and sat beside Gilbert.
Then, Gilbert stood up and walked in front of the high tform. He looked around and said, "Everyone,
today is such a blessed day for the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief. Our Godly Geniuses will be
engaged today and will eventually be married in the near future. With that, I ask everyone to bear
witness to this big event. Now, Odin, Valeria, pleasee forward. Light the incense, worship, pray for
the protection of the gods, and sign the engagement covenant."
Then, Rocky and Valeria came forward and looked at each other at the same time. Although they were
unwilling to proceed with the ceremony, they had no choice but to walk side by side towards the divine
censer before the eyes of the public.
When Gloria saw this, it was when she realized that she made such a ridiculous mistake. She actually
regarded Rocky as a mere servant, when he, in fact, was the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief. She also
spected that he had already known their identities right from the start, so he brought them to the
square on purpose so that they would not be able to behave rashly. She could not help but clench her
fists and let out a devious smile. ''You''re pretty smart, but I''m afraid you underestimated me...''
